What an incredible Radiothon!

PRC staff, our dedicated community board members, and the amazing team at Great Clips joined forces with OSF Children’s Hospital of Illinois and 93.3 The Drive for another unforgettable event!

This Radiothon is so special because it highlights the many subspecialty services that make OSF Children’s Hospital of Illinois exceptional. The Pediatric Resource Center is just one of the incredible programs made possible through community support.

And speaking of support—Great Clips went above and beyond, not only participating in the Radiothon but also donating an astounding $103,000 from their efforts during the CMN campaign in October! Their generosity will help fund vital programs that change lives every single day.

Want to make a difference too? You can support the life-changing work of the PRC by calling 309-624-9595 or visiting www.PRCGiving.org and click on GIVE.

Every gift—big or small—helps create brighter futures for kids.
